Teens4CAP program was developed out of the need for enhancing teens and young adults’ resilience towards extreme climate change. This non-formal education program is offered to teens regardless of their backgrounds or legal status. Teens4CAP first education program on eco-edible urban gardening was birthed in the midst of COVID 19 lockdown. The program came about after The Blue Ribbon Global conceptualized Education for Climate Action for Peace (E4CAP) workshop in December 2020. Both, E4CAP and Teens4CAP teaching-learning content are based on The Blue Ribbon’s peace education principles – Peace with own self (Person), Peace with others (People), and Peace with the environment (Planet) or Peace3Ps. They also support Permaculture Ethics – Care for People, Care for the Environment and Share Surplus, and apply its principles in system design and implementation.
